Anchor Vans Enjoys Huge Success Following Launch of Ford Approved Repairs, Ford Warranties and Vehicle Servicing for Cars and Vans in Berkshire

Padworth, Reading, United Kingdom, August 12, 2009 --(PR.com)-- Anchor Vans, one of the leading vendors of used vans in the UK, is delighted to announce that it has been granted full Ford authorised repairer and service agent status. Within the first few days of launch, the Ford approved repairs, warranties and servicing offering has already proven to be in high demand, alleviating the previous shortage of Ford approved service agents in the Berkshire region. For more information call 0118 9710 230 or go to www.anchorvans.co.uk.

"The response to our new offering has been fantastic," commented Simon Joyce, Sales Director of Anchor Vans. "We completed our first Ford warranty within days of the Ford signage going up, and that in itself has had a significant impact on the level of passing trade. Our customers have known for some time that we're able to carry out commercial vehicle servicing and repairs on all makes of cars and vans, but to achieve the prestigious Ford approved status has really put us on the map as the best place to have all aspects of servicing, repairs and now Ford warranties."

"Achieving Ford approved status is a milestone for us, but it's also very important for our core used van business," Simon added. "Previously we had to wait an average of two weeks to get each Ford van's warrantee carried out for sale, as there was such a shortage of Ford approved repairers and service agents in the Berkshire area. It simply made sense to put the work in to achieve that status ourselves, so we no longer have such a delay in lead times - it's gone from two weeks to a day. It also means we can be absolutely certain of the quality of the work, as it's now all in-house."
